Solvent and Aqueous Cleaning Solutions

Fraser Technologies supplies both solvent and aqueous solutions, depending on the cleaning requirements of the customer. Each job is carefully considered, with bespoke advice on the cleaning fluids, cleaning systems and equipment that will provide optimum results for the business.

Graham Fraser, Managing Director at Fraser Technologies explains:

“We have a ‘customer first’ philosophy; focusing on long term partnerships to achieve sustainable, cost-effective, environmentally sound solutions, which meet customer needs. Our overall aim is to be the go to experts for precision cleaning due to our honesty, integrity and passion for finding the best solution for our customers.”

A recent example of this is a project undertaken with a prominent aerospace manufacturer customer, looking for an alternative to the high Global Warming Potential (GWP) solvent they were using. Previously, the customer was using 7 Metric Tonnes of solvent per year, so Fraser Technologies worked with them to approve Opteon™ SF80 by Chemours, a specialty fluid designed to meet the high specifications and demands of the industrial cleaning market. It is a safe, nonflammable, and environmentally friendly solvent with an ultra-low GWP.

The team assisted in optimising the customer’s processes to reduce solvent consumption and introduced a solvent recovery process to allow them to further reduce waste and reuse the recovered solvent. This cut the customer’s overall usage of solvent by 28%.

While the former product was less expensive than SF80, the reduction in solvent usage resulted in a cost reduction of around £30,000 per year, as well as a significant reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions.

With over 50 years of experience in component cleaning, across all areas of manufacturing, Fraser Technologies is the name to trust. For more information, visit www.frasertech.co.uk
